If so, then we are looking for you. We need graphic designers with an array of skills to add to our friendly team of social media experts.

You will deliver polished products that suit both government and Ministerial social media channels.

You will develop graphics and animations that help further explain the department's biggest stories in an accessible way.
You will work within our brand guidelines but still pursue innovative new ways of telling stories on new channels, and contribute to brand reviews to keep our look and feel fresh.
You will work on both longerterm projects, such as campaigns, and projects with tight deadlines and exacting stakeholders.
You will need adaptability, as briefs and details can change, given the fastpaced nature of government.

It's a busy role but it's worth the challenge, as you will get to work on some of the most exciting projects at the heart of government - be it the future of nuclear energy, or major scientific investment and breakthroughs.
